Questions & Answers

Common questions about this video

What led Gary Sinise to become involved in supporting veterans and first responders?

Sinise was influenced by relatives who served, including his wife’s brothers who were Vietnam veterans. After seeing how difficult it was for them to return to a divided country, he began helping veterans in the 1980s. The September 11 attacks then motivated him to deepen his service through USO tours, hospital visits, and eventually the Gary Sinise Foundation. 3:09

Why did Gary Sinise start the Operation Iraqi Children school-supply program?

During a 2003 USO trip to Iraq, Sinise visited a rebuilt school and saw children sharing a single small pencil. He returned home and organized shipments of school supplies for soldiers to bring to children in Iraq and, later, other places where US troops were deployed. 31:40

What does the Gary Sinise Foundation do to support veterans’ mental wellness?

The foundation tries to reach out proactively rather than waiting for service members to ask for help. It supports mental-wellness programs and encourages veterans to share their stories, while also connecting people with other organizations when needed. 18:43

How did Gary Sinise first discover his interest in acting?

At 16, Sinise was playing in a rock band when his high-school drama teacher encouraged him and the other band members to audition for West Side Story. He got a small role, became involved in theater, and found a passion that ultimately shaped his career. 1:28:22

What is the Soaring Valor program?

Soaring Valor brings World War II veterans to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans and pairs them with high-school students as travel companions. Sinise said the shared experience helps students learn about service and gives them a chance to connect with veterans. 1:38:50

What is Gary Sinise’s book Graceful Warrior about?

Graceful Warrior tells the story of Sinise’s family and their experience supporting his son Mac through a rare cancer diagnosis and a five-and-a-half-year battle. Sinise describes it as a story about hope, courage, and persevering through great challenges, rather than simply a book about cancer. 2:01:42
